I've had a patch in the pipeline for AC_EXEEXT for quite some time
now, which would not fall into the trap you decribe. See below.
There was a lot of discussion and many rewrites, but I don't think I
ever got a definitive "no" on the (so far) final version below. I even
think I got at least one "yes" from one of the maintainers, so I
really don't know why it wasn't applied.
